Framework is an organisation of independent consultants, trainers and
writers. We enable people, groups and organisations to operate more
effectively and to realise their potential. Our network was formed in
1984 to bring new approaches to public sector agencies, voluntary and
charitable organisations, community groups and not-for-profit companies.
Our VALUES are central to our work:
* we put people first
* we support users being involved
* we strive for greater social equality
* we challenge discrimination and oppression
* we promote learning from every experience
* we adopt ethical standards
Our APPROACHES include
* project monitoring, evaluation and research
* organisational reviews and strategic planning
* support for individual staff
* staff, team and manager development
* writing and publishing support materials
* in-house training and learning events

organisations. They range in size from local volunteer groups to some of the UK's largest charities.
